STI¹⁰ - 10-Year Vision for Science, Technology and Innovation in South Australia

In a competitive environment, innovation is the key to shaping a strong and vibrant future for South Australia.

The South Australian Government is committed to delivering its future through an integrated science, technology and innovation vision. STI¹⁰: A 10-Year Vision for Science, Technology and Innovation was launched by the Premier in 2004 to generate great ideas, value knowledge and ground our State in innovative practice.

The STI¹⁰ Vision Statement outlines the Government¡¦s key aspirations, strategies and performance targets for the ten years to 2014. It documents what South Australia already does well; identified some challenges for the state; and put forward some strategies to help do things better in the future.

Strategies

Three strategies, each with its own key elements, underpin the delivery of this Vision:

Building capability and infrastructure

• Excellent and distinctive R&D capability and reputation
• Growth of nationally and internationally competitive industries
• Established research and innovation precincts
• Strategic leadership by the State Government

Momentum through collaboration

• A strong culture of innovative collaboration
• A willingness to invest
• A whole of Government commitment to STI

Developing people and communities

• Targeted and relevant STI education and skills development
• Community awareness and engagement

The STI¹⁰ vision included implementation through the Adelaide Innovation Constellation (now known as Constellation SA), linking five physical precincts in a virtual collaborative environment.

Constellation SA has evolved directly from STI¹⁰ and is now the overarching program for its implementation.
